Orange native Earl Thomas III is in for a "long and gruesome recovery" after breaking his left leg during the Seattle Seahawks game on Sunday against Carolina, said West Orange-Stark head football coach Cornel Thompson on Monday. Thomas, who has spent all seven years in the NFL with the Seahawks, had never missed a game until Week 12, when he was sidelined with a hamstring injury. At West Orange-Stark, Thomas was a three-year starter at defensive back, running back and wide receiver. Bryant tied the franchise record with a 59-yard field goal in the loss - three yards short of his career long. McDonald has caught 24 passes for a career-high 391 yards and four touchdowns for a struggling 49ers team that is 1-11. Former Memorial running back and current Kansas City Chief Jamaal Charles was put on injured reserve in November because of lingering effects from his 2015 ACL tear. Jasper graduate and Atlanta linebacker Sean Weatherspoon ruptured his Achilles tendon in Week 4 against Carolina and was placed on injured reserve. ]]>

Kelly used full-court zone pressure to pester Grace Baptist ball-handlers and captured a 74-46 victory Thursday at the 46th Nederland Bulldog Classic basketball tournament. Fifteenth-year head coach James Knowles watched as Kelly (8-3) successfully opened Thursday's action with a 61-41 win over Little Cypress-Mauriceville. The Bulldogs expected a challenge from Grace (6-3), based in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and led by 6-8 post man Luka Dragovic. Kelly forced 28 turnovers and placed four players in double figures. The defensive end has been our strength. A similar scenario enabled the Bulldogs to pull away in their earlier game with LC-M. Tournament officials switched Friday's 1:30 and 7:30 scheduled matchups to enable WO-S to be free to attend the Mustangs' 4A Division II football quarterfinal playoff game on Friday night. ]]>

Dan Ray Hooks, hired as the high school's first defensive coordinator by head football coach Steve McCarty, was paired with Cornel Thompson to teach a physical education class. Thompson, who stayed on as equipment manager and linebackers coach after the Lutcher Stark and West Orange high schools were consolidated, and Hooks spent their mornings sitting in the gym bleachers breaking down their favorite defensive schemes. When Hooks became head football coach in 1981, he promoted Thompson to first assistant and put him in charge of the team's defense. When Hooks stepped down in 2011, Thompson was the logical choice to succeed him. Since Thompson took over, West Orange-Stark has gone 75-11 in six years, with two state title game appearances and one state championship. To put that into context, last year's Katy team – considered the best defensive team in Texas high school football history - allowed 62 points and had 10 shutouts in 16 games. At the center of the Mustangs' defense is senior nose guard Mandel Turner-King, a position that Thompson calls the "building block" for his defensive scheme. The defense could get even better with the return of senior linebacker Justin Brown, who missed the past seven games with a broken arm after colliding with a teammate during a 68-0 win over Hamshire-Fannett in October. Giddings, which defeated Connally and West Orange-Stark's district opponents Hardin-Jefferson and Liberty to advance to tonight's Region III final, is led by junior quarterback Rustin Grimm, who has passed for 1,526 yards and 15 touchdowns. ]]>

Spikes led all rushers with 167 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries as Newton survived an undefeated battle against Elysian Fields with a 30-20 win in Jasper.

West Brook will go as far as its high scoring offense will take it, and the Westfield defense (13 points per game allowed) is the sturdiest it's pitted against in the postseason so far. The Bruins offensive line will have to block the No. 9-ranked defensive tackle in the country, Keondre Coburn - a Texas A&M recruit. West Brook gave up 35 third quarter points last week and will face Westfield's senior running back Daniel Young (1,108 yards, 14 TD's), who is committed to Houston. Last week, West Brook received 580 rushing yards from sophomore quarterback L'Ravien Elia and senior running back Joel Denly, but trouble comes when they're shut down. Memorial has yet to face an opponent in its 5A playoff debut that can slow the offense down or crack through its talented defense. Memorial quarterback Kadon Harrison will have to keep his eye on Temple's 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive end Taquon Graham - who has committed to Texas and has eight sacks on the season - but Memorial senior running back Elijah Hines (305 yards, 4 TD's in postseason) will be the focus. The undefeated Cougars have impressed in only their fifth season in school history, and have a balanced offense with junior quarterback Marquez Perez (1,902 yards, 24 TD's, 4 INT's) and senior running back Chris Monroe Jr. With senior running back Cayce Draper back in the lineup - he rushed for 209 yards and two touchdowns in a win over Bay City - Bridge City's offense is back at full strength. Stafford has an impressive run offense to complement White in James Brown, who has rushed for 1,170 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. The Mustangs started slow in a playoff win over Bellville last year, allowing the Brahmas to stick around in the first half before turning the game into another one of their signature blowouts. Expect senior running back Kelian Weathered to carry the load for the Bulldogs while quarterback Leontay Sells looks to use 6'5 wide re ]]>

Denley also caught a 38-yard touchdown pass, helping the Bruins score the most points in a playoff game in school history.
